Two hundred and twenty-one, the number one celebrity, Evergreen
"You are right, then let him come and go to relieve the heat." Liu Youwang patted his belly and pretended to be generous and said, "I have chosen a new girl in our theater troupe. She is really cute. I will treat you as your honour."
There is a lot of it, just let him enjoy it first."
"What's the use of just having a woman," Jiang Yougong complained, "He has slept with many women in recent months."
"What else can I do?"
"We have to give him some benefits..." Jiang Yougong said.
Zhu Si had actually hinted to him many times recently that he knew about the Sanhezui thing and asked him to get some benefits. Jiang Yougong had to be filial and filial no matter how reluctant he was.
"Okay," Liu hoped to be reluctant, but also knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he said angrily, "How much money do you think we can get?"
"At least get fifty taels."
"One hundred taels, Captain Zhu's appetite is really big." Liu Wangwang secretly felt distressed, "It's not that I don't want to give it, but right now we are short of money..."
In the past few months, wealth has been pouring in, but the two deceased brothers have been worried. All the supplies they got in the camp were food, salt, cloth, etc., which were large in quantity and inconvenient to carry. They had to become
Gold and silver will do. Jiang Yougong and Liu Youwang are both outsiders. There is no such way. To be honest, they don't have the courage to leave it to the "corrupt elements" in the camp to cash out.
"...You also know that these things are piled up in the warehouse now, and there are only a few dozen taels of silver. If you open your mouth and ask for a hundred taels, it is not enough to give him all. You can't give him a few dozen kilo of rice, right?"
Jiang Yougong thought to himself that this was indeed a problem. He thought for a while and said, "Do you have anyone who can be used?"
"I don't have anyone! There are some government officials who have been retained, but I don't dare to provoke them."
"What about Chang Qingyun? I think he is a very capable person..."
"Old Chang," Liu Youwang scratched his scalp, "Speaking of it, he is still a civil servant, but he is also an outsider and not from the local area. I'm afraid he doesn't have much potential."
"It's hard to say. This Chang Qingyun often goes to Wuzhou for business, maybe there is a way out. And he is either retained or a prisoner. It is safest to go through him - if there is any problem, just go directly..." Jiang Yougong made a cut
Head movements.
"Okay, I'll just ask him!"
"We have to hurry up on this matter," Jiang Yougong said. "When the grain fleet arrives, he won't have time. Who knows what trouble this kid is going to make!"
"No way, he and you were both servants of the imperial court..."
"What about Paoze? It's easier to stab him in the back." Jiang Yougong said angrily, probably because he was fed up with "Paoze" back then.
Liu expected to ask someone to call Chang Qingyun.
Chang Qingyun was watching from behind as several actors taught opera and singing to the selected girls. Most of these girls came from good families, and some were from official families. Now they were forced to come out to learn opera, and they had to
The Israeli servants were all reluctant. However, Liu Youzhi was the King of Heaven in this camp. If he refused, he would either seek death or be tortured to death. In short, it would be a dead end. So most of them had no choice but to succumb to the lustful power.
The few people who teach opera are mostly members of the family teams raised by officials in the past, and there are also members of the Jianghu troupe. They are also very cautious. Liu Wanwang is not easy to serve. Not to mention disobeying him, sometimes a line of opera does not suit him. If you don't understand, you will get a beating for no apparent reason.
Chang Qingyun was the only one who felt comfortable around Liu Youwang. Therefore, everyone in the camp cursed him behind his back and thought of "destined to die a good death" and came up with the idea of starting a theater troupe.
But on the surface, he is now the most popular person around Liu Hope. Even those who were retained in the past had to bend their backs and call him: "Mr. Chang" when they saw him.
Chang Qingyun seemed to be sitting around, listening to the show and enjoying it, but in fact, he was making nervous calculations in his heart. After some manipulation by himself, public resentment in the camp was already boiling. As long as someone is willing to step forward and raise his voice, he will definitely cause an uproar. And with the cooperation from the outside, If the troops attack, Sanhezui will definitely be in chaos.
It's just that he is not yet sure how to eliminate the leader of the Third Squadron in one fell swoop.
Although a plan was made to poison the food, Chang Qingyun himself also knew that poisoning was not difficult. It was rare to defeat these people at the critical moment. If the poison spread early, Jie Kun could send someone else to replace him. Not to mention the need to investigate the cause; if we wait until that day to take action, the Australians will definitely order the entire army to be under martial law before and after the food arrives, and there is no way to call them all to the camp in the name of watching a show.
While he was thinking wildly, someone suddenly came to call him and said that Liu Guanying had asked him to go.
When Liu Youwang asked him to come over, he naturally did not dare to neglect and immediately arrived in the yard where he lived.
Liu hoped to chat with him for a few words, and first asked about preparing a small kitchen.
This matter was originally brought up by Chang Qingyun. When he asked about it, he quickly replied: "I have already found the cooks. Some are official chefs in the Governor's Yamen and the Chief Secretary's Yamen; some are famous chefs in local restaurants in Wuzhou. Good craftsmanship. Just..."
"Just what?"
"It goes without saying that some of these cooks are in our camp, it's just a matter of a word from the master! It's just that there are two of them in Wuzhou..."
"so what?"
"For those in the camp, it's their fate to be able to work for the master, and they are not happy about it. But if you want to be in the city, you have to be like hiring people, you have to pay wages, and you have to have a sign for entry and exit."
"Whatever I think is a difficult task, I just hire them. There are only one or two hundred people left in this camp, so a few more of them won't be a big deal. As for wages, I'll just pay them according to the market conditions outside!"
"Yes, yes, there are also discrepancies in the waistband."
"These are all easy. Once you have found someone, just tell me how much you want," Liu Wangwang said. "But if you find these people, their skills must be passable. Don't make them on the same level as the cooking team in the army." "As he said that, he mentioned the matter of material realization.
"...Do you have anyone who can handle this?"
Chang Qingyun was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Youyou would actually leave this matter to him! But after thinking about it, he understood - Wuzhou is a place where people are unfamiliar and there is no place to look for anyone. He is also a prisoner, so he can handle it. .
"There are people." Chang Qingyun said carefully, "It's just that he is also cautious..."
"Okay, okay, don't bother me. I don't care which turtle bastard you find, as long as you can help me convert all these things into silver - gold is fine, no need for copper coins." Liu Youwang was impatient.
said.
"Yes, yes, this student will definitely try his best." Chang Qingyun immediately made a respectful look, "I just don't know how many things there are and how much money they will cost?"
"Everything is in the warehouse at the back. I will take you to see it when the time comes. There are about three hundred kilograms of brown rice, as well as salt and cloth. You can help me find a suitable place to dispose of them," he said and his eyes widened.
A pair of cow eyes showed a fierce light, "I know the price of these things in the market, don't try to trick me!"
"Students don't dare!" Chang Qingyun put on a frightened face, "Students have to rely on adults in these three places, how dare they do such a self-destructive thing."
"Hahaha, it's good that you know!" Liu Wangwang laughed loudly. He felt very proud when he thought that a civil servant was so respectful and docile to him. He was even happier than the girl he had slept with a certain county magistrate's house last night - after all, that girl had always been
Crying and crying, I am not as sensible as this master.
"Old Chang, you are indeed a wonderful person." Liu Youwang patted his shoulder and said, "If you handle this errand for me well, your benefits are indispensable! Do you have any request? If you want a woman, I will reward you with one!"
It’s too deserted for you to sleep alone, so you probably can’t bear it, right? I don’t think you’re old at all, don’t say you’re already dying..."
Chang Qingyun really couldn't stand his "warmth", but he didn't dare to disobey him of course, so he could only smile and said: "The student understands the master's kindness. But now that the student wants to help the master, some things should not be too public, lest he
Provoking jealousy..."
"Well, you're right." Liu hoped to sit down with excitement, "I won't give you the access badges, you already have them anyway. These days, you often go out to run around for me, and get them as soon as possible.
This matter has been solved for me!"
"Student, please obey," Chang Qingyun had an idea, remembered something, and said, "Student, I still have something to ask for."
"Say it."
"Please let me give you another badge - if you find someone, they also want to see the goods. You can't just come and get money based on a student's empty words..."
"It's easy. Just go to the copywriting and say what I said: I'll give you another badge."
Chang Qingyun thanked him and was about to leave when Liu Hope stopped him again:
"How about the purchase of costumes for the costumes you mentioned last time? You can't sing a cappella like this all the time, right?"
The costumes, headsets, and even musical instruments required by the troupe are naturally not available in the camp. The musical instruments are okay. If you search in Wuzhou city, you can always find a small troupe with clear music. The flutes, harps, gongs and drums can generally handle everything. The only thing is that the costumes and headsets of the opera are not good.
Easy to find - only theater troupes buy them.
Originally, there was always a troupe performing in large docks like Wuzhou, and there were also several troupes in government offices and wealthy families. However, a war and turmoil broke out, and all these troupes dispersed. Even the troupes were scattered. Chang Qingyun ran away.
After several trips, I couldn't find a complete set of theater boxes. I only found some scattered costumes, headscarves and musical instruments, but no complete set of gadgets.
Without these troupes, it would be impossible to perform low-cost plays, and they could only sing a cappella. At best, they would perform a few excerpts. Liu hoped that he had a lot of women, so naturally he also hoped to watch a few serious plays to relieve his boredom, and by the way, he would play with other people.
A long face in front of me.
"Let the students look for it again. Look for it!" Chang Qingyun said hurriedly.
"Then we have to do it as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, students don't have to." Chang Qingyun said perfunctorily, but in his heart he wanted to contact Yi Haoran about this matter as soon as possible!
